Lovely shots Matt, glad you're on the mend.

They're involved in a flypast over Heathrow on Thursday, alongside the Reds. Monday would seem a little early?

Believe XP344 was delivered to North Luffenham from Cranwell in 1988.

I've got "ABB" as 4055.

A small selection of aircraft at Bruntingthorpe are owned by GJD Services, yes. Whether or not they end up at SWAM, remains to be seen.

Hunter returned to Scampton yesterday.

"Lobo"- VMR-1
"Magic"- VMR-2
"Grizzly"- VMR-1
"Easy"- MWHS-4

Understand they're being converted by Boeing at Mesa, AZ.

Flown out on a C-17, whether they return as such remains to be seen.

Indeed MRTT it did its first post restoration engine Runs in February and was painted in post war silver in March/April. Believe it is based at Sywell.

Certainly didn't know it'd progressed that quickly.

Personally I would love to see Tempest II MW763 (G-TEMT) in the flying display as it has now completed restoration . Congrats to Air Leasing.

Really?

Viewing area is open, yes.

It has indeed. Not aware of when it's due to return to Scampton.

Landed at Boscombe shortly after midday.

Operating from Boscombe this afternoon.

One crew member has been confirmed to have died, a second has sustained serious injuries.

Confirmed it was not involved in America Strong flypasts.

Pilot has ejected safely.

Both CH-21Cs, I believe.

BARG has 41+47 listed on that date, no mention of a second aircraft.

Airframe swap, presumably.
